Which teacher/class/experience had a profound impact on you, and why?
Mr. Mowrer's algebra 3 class was one class I'll remember for awhile - not only were all the students in it very fun to be around, but Mr. Mowrer had a way with making sure every single student got what they needed, including offering extra help or guidance even if it meant losing a lunch or some after school time.

What activities were you most involved in during high school?
Marching Band, Jazz Band, Concert Band, Choir, and Show choir
Which teacher/class/experience had a profound impact on you, and why?
Mr. Calvello is definitely my favorite teacher; his classes were also my favorite. He understood my sense of humor and saw the potential that I had that I, most of the time, was too lazy to see in myself. However I should also thank my band teacher Mrs. Hildebrand who also saw potential in me that I once again didn't really see in myself. I had a great time in those classes with those teachers.
What is the one thing you will miss most about Upper Perk?
I really am going to miss all the fun adventures I had with my friends. It didn't matter where we were, we always made it so we had a great time. All those days during band, hanging at the res, going bowling, and most importantly just sitting around and hanging out. It was great when we were all together.
What are your plans for after graduation?
I plan on going to Kutztown University to major in psychology. I plan on focusing on the psychiatric field of psychology.
What is your ultimate goal in your career/life?
My ultimate goal is to become a psychiatrist and get my PhD
